If you want to just take notes without recording audio, power on your Pulse smartpen and start taking notes on Livescribe dot paper. It will automatically capture everything you write or draw.
If you want to record audio, just tap on the record button and your smartpen will automatically start linking the audio to your notes.
When you dock your Pulse smartpen to your computer, your notes and drawings will appear as black ink (versus green ink, which means there is audio linked to your notes) on Livescribe Desktop. From there, you can easily export your notes as a PDF file and email them to your friends or colleagues.
